Our host, Pemika, is a committed, reliable, honest host. My wife and I were happy with Pemika's performance. She was always easily accessible and responsive. The only problem is that Pemika is the manager for only about 5 condo units in the whole building, and she has no control over the management of the (a) common plumbing, etc. serving her units and (b) the common areas like the swimming pool and fitness center, the latter of which were very important in my decision to stay at LIV@5. Our unit, 63/12, had a constant foul odor in the bathroom seemingly coming from the open drain piping in the floor -- presumably due to an inherent problem with the original plumbing installation. We are not sure if this is a problem with other units since we never visited them. The fitness center has old outdated equipment, many of which have not been maintained properly, resulting in several important functions being inoperative and even potentially dangerous. Furthermore, the 2 air conditioning units in the fitness center are old and exhibited start-up issues. I even had to install my own new batteries to replace the completely discharged batteries for the only remote controller in the room, choosing not to rely on management's slow response time. The swimming pool is small, but adequate for laps. However, the pool experienced an unexplained leak that suddenly drained the water out of the pool overnight (per Pemika's explanation), resulting in its shutdown for swimming almost 2 weeks. But management provided no notice of the shutdown to occupants. You discovered the shutdown only when you arrived to swim! Hopefully management will bring the fitness center up to more current acceptable standards and be more sensitive to maintenance of the equipment and the interests of users.
